‘You do not even know what will happen tomorrow.’ James 4:14
21.4.2026 Whenever I write the date I realise that it is unique. There has never been a day before which has had this date and this date will never be used again in the whole of history. Today is unique and precious.
James urges us not to make plans without consulting God, all of time is in His hands. The seconds, minutes, years all belong to Him, they are not ours to be squandered or wasted. God has a plan for each of our lives, they are the best plans for us that can possibly be. Our own plans fall miserably short, our knowledge is so limited, our perceptions so narrow.
Only the God of all eternity knows the past, the present and the future. So let’s leave it in God’s hands. Tuesday 21st April 2026 belongs to God, to be lived by us. It might prove to be a very ordinary day, on the other hand it might be monentous and life-changing. Let us accept the gift of today, it won’t come again.
